As a railroader you get used to looking at smashed up equipment, especially if you work in a yard with a rebuilding facility. Sometimes you get jaded and say "ah, that's minor"

A wonderful train. I sure hope they have the money. The expertise is out there, it only requires money. Best of luck to them in total repair. John |
